Leda presents a reversal of the classical myth. Rather than depicting submission or seduction, the work captures a moment of confrontation.

A monumental female figure restrains a swan — the form traditionally associated with Zeus — tightening a rope around its neck. The axis of power shifts: the figure is no longer a passive recipient of deception, but an active force that anticipates and interrupts it.

The composition is structured through physical tension. The bodies are locked in a struggle where control remains unstable and continuously contested. The dense, layered surface intensifies this condition, merging figure and ground into a single field of pressure.

The work does not retell the myth. It displaces it, exposing the mechanics of desire, disguise, and control as a direct, embodied conflict.
